title: [Stent thrombosis in aortic aneurysm: evaluation by multidetector CT].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Evaluate the imaging findings of thrombosis in a series of patients submitted to endovascular repair of aortic abdominal aneurysm.
  
  
  METHODS
  MDCT images of 30 patients submitted to endovascular repair of aortic abdominal aneurysm were obtained by a 64 slice scanner, 5 to 29 months after the endovascular treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Thrombosis was diagnosed in 10 patients (33.3%), and in three patients thrombosis was total in an iliac branch.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  MDCT allowed diagnosis of different types of endoluminal thrombosis in patients submitted to endovascular repair of aortic abdominal aneurysm. Utilization of this minimally invasive diagnostic technique should be encouraged in clinical practice.
